In our review for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Steve wrote:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is not the perfect Iga-vania, but it is a worthy entry in the genre. It’s clearly Castlevania in all but name and long term fans will find much to enjoy here, but it’s lacking in polish and refinement with a few niggles with the controls and too many unwelcome bugs at launch. With a few more patches, Bloodstained should be the game all us fans wanted it to be.
